At Tip a Teacher, we believe exceptional teaching deserves recognition and respect. Too often, educators put in long hours, spend their own money on supplies, and give everything they have—only to be underpaid and undervalued. Based in Cypress, TX, we provide direct, tax-deductible financial support to high-performing teachers in under-resourced communities across Houston. With no bureaucracy and no delays, our approach is simple: deliver real help straight into the hands of those shaping the future.
Our mission is clear: to recognize and remunerate teachers that fuel classroom excellence in under-resourced communities—so they can continue to elevate student opportunity and advance educational equity. Every contribution makes an immediate impact, ensuring that great teachers have the resources and encouragement they need to thrive in the classroom and beyond.
We envision a future where great teachers in under-resourced communities are celebrated and supported—inspiring limitless learning and creating classrooms where every child has equitable access to high-quality education. By valuing teachers, we uplift students, strengthen communities, and ensure that education remains the foundation upon which every profession is built.
